Hello, first of all, I would like to congratulate this great community. The help you provide here is incredible. I hope you can help me too. I have used a Text Aggregator and I want to filter the result with a text condition, whether it contains or does not contain something, but it does not filter the way I expect it to. Could you help me? I cannot share the downloaded files because they contain sensitive information. Thank you in advance. ![filtr3](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/b/9/b9cd160dc298489ef7e77e76efdd49d28368398d.png) ![fil4](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/1/b/1b8e0f90183fde6f06120d592b14cfe6b0d893c0.png) ---

Hi [Magnus\_Maker](https://community.make.com/u/magnus_maker), the filter that you have there is looking for a text that meets both requirements `Contain Mes1` and `Does not contains Mes2`, otherwise it won’t pass. If you want to filter out a text that meets one of the two requirements, you should use the **OR** rule. Delete the second filter and add **Add OR rule** , then add the requirements that you have in the second filter ---

If you want to filter a text that meets both conditions, then the **AND** operator is fine. What problem are you having? ---
